I tried this:

    load '...\j602\system\extras\util\pacman.ijs'
    httpget_jpacman_ 
'jsoftware.com/pipermail/programming/2009-October/016591.html'

+-+------------------------------+
|0|...\j602-user\temp\016591.html|
+-+------------------------------+

Here is the relevant excerpt from the file retrieved when viewed by a 
non-browser text editor:

...
Anyways, here's how I would write what you have written.

log=: 10&amp;^.
nrnd=: [ %~ 0.5 &lt;<A 
HREF="http://jsoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/programming";>. at +</A> *
stdval=: &lt;.&amp;.log * 100 nrnd 96 nrnd (- &lt;.)&amp;.log
...

So it looks to me as if the forum archiving is converting some sequences to 
links.
